Using Functions for Easier Programming
Functional programming languages automate many of the details underlying specific operations.
Computational theorists prove there is no easy algorithm to find Nash equilibria, so game theory will have to look in new directions.
Serverless computing lets businesses and application developers focus on the program they need to run, without worrying about the machine on which it runs, or the…
Building a Brain May Mean Going Analog
Analog circuits consume less power per operation than CMOS technologies, and so should prove more efficient.
Sir Tim Berners-Lee created a paradigm shift that changed the world with his invention of the World Wide Web, Hypertext Transport Protocol, and Hypertext Markup Language.
Lawmakers Seek to Expand Repair Options
